EU is pessimistic that a Brexit breakthrough is in reach - Bloomberg
|European officials are pessimistic about the probability of a breakthrough in Brexit talks this week, as negotiators believe that whatever they offer won't be enough to get parliament to back Prime Minister May's deal.

The EU believes unrealistic expectations have built up in London. As a result, any concessions the EU would be prepared to give wouldn’t be sufficient to win a majority in the House of Commons.
EU negotiators are also riled by having to do business with a new interlocutor, the people familiar with the matter said.
If May’s deal is rejected on Tuesday, Parliament will instead most likely vote to extend the exit day deadline and pro-EU lawmakers will try to force the government to soften, or even reverse the divorce.
